This Alert Affects:
Anyone who lived on a military base and suspects they
developed cancer, thyroid disease or another illness as a result of exposure to
contaminated water.
What’s Going On?
DuPont, 3M and other companies that made firefighting foams
used in military base training exercises are being sued over claims that,
knowing their products contained PFAS chemicals that could contaminate local
groundwater and cause serious health effects, they failed to take the steps
necessary to protect the public. More than 700 military bases are suspected or
confirmed to have had their water contaminated due to the use of firefighting
foams.
What Diseases Have Been Linked to PFAS Chemicals?
Ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, and several types of
cancer, including lymphoma, leukemia, liver cancer, kidney cancer, testicular
cancer, and multiple myeloma, have all been linked to PFAS exposure.
What You Can Do
If you suspect you or a loved one developed cancer or
another disease as a result of drinking or otherwise being exposed to
contaminated water, fill out the form on this page. Attorneys working with
ClassAction.org are offering free consultations to those who lived on military
bases to help these individuals determine whether they can take legal action.
